Valentine’s Day? Don’t really care about that. Today we are celebrating completion of phase one of our brewery dream. 11 years ago I walked into a brewery and met a boy. I was pretty square and liked to follow all the rules on the well traveled road, but he encouraged me to be risky: let’s go to Costa Rica, let’s just buy a house since we can’t find a rental that will take big dogs, let’s open a convenience store and sell really good beer, let’s get married, let’s have a craft beer fest, let’s have a kid, let’s open a brewery! This was all pretty scary ground for me, but he was right. I’m still game for taking the long way home.
